There's not a lot holding its story together, which feels like an underwritten Pixar imitation. But the animated sequences and humor are really fun, and the charismatic voice cast help it to shine in spite of narrative shortcomings.

This movie as colorful animation and it's a good watch but it's not the best animated movie ever made it does have a lot of things wrong with it.

The visuals of this bright and bold animated film are stunning. I could have done with less of the Robin Williams character, who, more or less, plays a slightly less annoying of live action comedic Robin Williams. Still, there is a heart to this film that does hit home by its conclusions and some good jokes among the rust.

"Robots" follows the "life" of an up-and-coming robotic being named "Rodney Copperbottom," (Ewan McGregor) who has aspirations of becoming an inventor who goes to the big city to follow his dreams. He meets up with a crazy robot (Robin Williams) who constantly needs repairs. Together, with help from a group of robots known as the "Rusties," they help "Big Weld" (Mel Brooks) whose business has been taken over by a robot who would rather make parts for profit than parts to help those in need (Greg Kinnear).
The first thing you notice is the incredible computer animation. The bright coloring is simply amazing, and the way the characters are designed are fun and quite unique. The actors are all good in their performances, and a few disguise their voices well enough for you to not realize …
